5 Reasons Why Marvel Studios Will Always Stay Ahead of DC in the Superhero Game

The fan-fights among Marvel and DC cheerleaders is as vitriolic and passionate as between liberals & conservatives or Democrats & Republicans. There is always a debate among comic-book enthusiasts as to which camp is doing better – Marvel or DC. If we analyze the performance of both studios in terms of TRP’s on TV, clearly DC shows like Arrow, Flash etc has a solid lead over Marvel (Daredevil, Agents of S.H.I.EL.D). But on the big screen, DC is not even in the 10-mile radius of Marvel studios in terms of global box-office collections from its film projects.

Following are the reasons why Marvels is crushing DC on the big screen:

Well-researched scripts

The creative team of Marvels is one of the most prolific and top-notch in the whole entertainment industry. The scripts are balanced in the way that it appeals to the comic-book junkies and the first time audience at the same time.

Flawless Execution

The choice of talent to direct its projects include the best names in Hollywood – James Gunn, Joss Whedon, Jon Favreau etc who makes it their personal mission to bring their vision to the big screen.

Meticulous future planning

Marvel Studios is ready with Captain America Civil War and Dr. Strange, and already have 10 projects lined up for the next five years. DC Studios is struggling to build its universe and is trying to introduce too many characters in a single movie.

Kevin Feige is a top-class guy at the helm

He is a fanboy who has been in the entertainment industry for several decades. He brings his technical expertise and prowess to the table and has brought worldwide box office revenues of over $8.3 billion from a slate of superhero movies. Maybe Ben Affleck is the guy for DC Studios who will turn around its fortunes.

Viral Marketing

Marvel Studios has mastered the subtle art of marketing and connect with the massive fan base of Marvel comics. From product positioning to digital advertising campaigns, everything has been thought through well in advance. On the other hand, DC Studios has failed to generate considerable buzz around Batman v Superman, instead, they gave away the entire plot in the trailer itself.
